3.When you first arrive in Oxford,it may take a little while for you to find your way around.Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike (most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around),setting up a bank account,getting their computer and mobile phone working,finding their department,getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.
One of the major events you will experience shortly after"coming up"to Oxford is matriculation.Matriculation is held at the University's Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.
International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year.Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in the UK and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you,as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you.The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system,University services,information on living in Britain and cultural differences,as well as addressing practical issues such as employment,immigration and visas,health and safety.You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students.
Another good thing to experience early is college dining.Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners,which consist of three or four courses,and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant.On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may  return the favor.In this way,you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls.

28.For a newcomer to Oxford,what does he have to do first?C

D.Showing you around the college.

分析 本文主要写了到牛津大学后,学生们要做的事情.

解答 28.C 细节理解题,从第一段"Some of the first things our students do…including finding a bike…"可知到了牛津大学后,骑自行车是首先可以处理的事情之一.而不是A选专业,B开QQ账户,D买新手机.所以答案选C.
29.B 细节理解题,从第二段"Matriculation is held …and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university."可知matriculation为正式的入学庆典.所以答案选B.
30.D 细节理解题,从第三段"The day covers topics such as studying and learning Oxford system and university services…such as employment,immigration and visas,health and safety.通过排除法可判断D正确. A.错在要学习和了解的是Oxford system而不是Cambridge system.B.错在提到了"insurance"而本文并未提及保险问题.C.跟"fellow students"见面是在Orientation Day结束之后的社交时间里可以做的事情.
31.A 推理判断题,从倒数二,三段"Most colleges have a tradition of regular hall dinners,…you can invite people around…可知很多大学都有自己的学生邀请其他大学学生到自己学校吃饭的传统,人之常情一般是要回请的,因此return the favor可以理解为"回请".

点评 本文考查细节题为主,细节题可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息?或是其变体.搜查信息在阅读中非常重要它包括理解作者在叙述某事时使用的具体事实、数据、图表等细节信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节.做这类题一般采用寻读法?即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案.

2.Last Sunday,I was sitting in a French restaurant enjoying a meal when I got on a phone call from a friend I hadn't spoken to in a long time.In my enthusiasm and excitement,I talked quite louder than usual voice and in Spanish,my mother tongue.
A few minutes into the call,an old lady sitting at the table beside mine got up,seemingly offended,and asked the restaurant staff to relocate (重新安排)a table as far away as possible from this man who seemed to be impolite.
I sank in my seat out of embarrassment.I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to apologize.Before getting up,I looked around to see where she was and she was at the table farthest away from me.I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out of the window.I found a tinge (气息)of sadness or anxiety and perhaps a desire for aloneness and peace.But I had obviously destroyed it minutes earlier.
Right then I abandoned my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture.Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet,I took one out and wrote some words to express my apology.On signing my restaurant bill,I asked a waiter to secretly charge the lady's meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill.
Did she take it the wrong way,I wondered?Did she get confused?Did she refuse the anonymous(匿名的)offer?And so on.I just waited and felt nervous to learn the outcome.To my pleasant surprise,things turned out the best possible way.
The waiter approached me in a joy,telling me,"In the many times she had dined here before,I had never seen the old lady smile as she did when receiving the smile card and the $ 0 bill.She thanked me even though I explained that someone else did the job."

13.Harvard is one of the most famous educational institutions in the world and many people want to study there.The problem is that most applicants don't follow the advice that will most likely get them (81)picked(pick).
One of the most important things you should remember when (82)applying(apply) to Harvard is that THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE A LIFE.This is probably the main requirement after your grades.The best situation is that you are a (83)natural(nature) leader with lots of activities and active social life.Another important thing to remember is that you have to promote (推销) (84)yourself(you) but in a reasonable manner.You should be aware of your strengths and (85)weaknesses(weak).Grades are very important but they are not everything.Try to gain a great school record from your high school years,take extra courses that are interesting,and enjoy life.(86)The rest will come naturally.
Last but not least,let's pay attention (87)tothe interview.You should be respectful and most importantly,show real interest in the school (not only the name).(88)Itis a matter of luck to get an interviewer who shares common interests with you.The thing with the interview is that Harvard (89)receives(receive) applications from hundreds,if not thousands of students with the same grades.This means the interview is your chance to show (90)that/why you are unique.
